Semaglutide for Weight Loss
By developing healthy habits while you’re going through our 90-day Semaglutide Weight Loss Program, you’ll be much better prepared to keep those habits when you complete the program.
And we’re not just talking about eating habits.
This may include:
- Guidance on how to improve your sleep, as lack of sleep can be a major factor in weight gain.
- Stress-reducing actions you can take each day, as stress can increase fat storage (particularly belly fat).
- Helping you recognize any emotional or psychological triggers that may cause you to overeat — and tips on how to deal with them.
Your health coach has worked with many patients on this program and can answer your specific questions and provide tailored advice to help you.
How Does Semaglutide Work for Weight Loss?
Semaglutide has been called a weight-loss game-changer. It’s not a stimulant like other weight loss drugs, such as phentermine — so it won’t affect your heart.
It also doesn’t have many of the side effects of other weight-loss medications, such as dry mouth, restlessness, insomnia, dizziness, and headaches.
The most common side effect of semaglutide is nausea, but we take proactive measures to ensure you go through the program with little to no nausea. And many people experience no side effects from semaglutide.
Semaglutide imitates a naturally occurring hormone in your body called GLP-1, which your body produces after you eat. GLP-1 makes you feel full and also improves your body’s ability to regulate blood sugar levels.
Because of this, semaglutide not only helps you eat less, but it can also help reduce insulin resistance. Insulin resistance can be a root cause of metabolic syndrome — and virtually every chronic disease.
When Does Semaglutide Start Working for Weight Loss?
We know that losing weight is an important first step to achieving optimal health.
But what happens after you lose the weight is just as important — perhaps even MORE important — than the initial weight loss.
Studies show that over 80% of people who lose weight will gain it back. That can be a disheartening statistic, but it doesn’t have to be.
At Forum Health, we believe that good health encompasses mind, body, and soul.
Losing weight isn’t just about looking better in your clothes — although that’s a nice side benefit. It’s far more important to reduce the health risks from chronic diseases so you can live a longer, happier, healthier life!
That’s why we’re so excited about our Weight Loss Program!
The health coaching aspect of this program is crucial to your long-term success. So many things can cause weight gain, including sleep, stress levels, and psychological triggers.
Your health coach can help you recognize which factors may have contributed to your weight gain and can give you specific advice on how to deal with those factors.
Plus, your health coach will provide nutritional advice based on your situation and lifestyle preferences.
Certainly, you’ll learn what foods are most healthy for your body. But there’s so much more to the picture. Our holistic mind/body approach will help you take the weight off — and KEEP it off.
Cost of Semaglutide for Weight Loss
Semaglutide is all over the news these days, and for good reason: it’s safe, and it works. And you may have heard that semaglutide can be expensive, but this isn’t the case with our program.
We use the generic version of the drug (the brand names are Ozempic and Wegovy) and have it formulated a compounding pharmacy. This helps us keep the costs down and pass the savings on to you.
Plus, since our program is a holistic approach to sustainable weight loss, the cost of semaglutide for weight loss will be far less over time— because this may just be the last weight loss program you ever have to do!

We know that it can be challenging to try a new weight loss program — particularly if you’ve tried so many without long-term success.
But we also know that it’s about so much more than just losing weight: It’s about reducing health risks from chronic diseases so you can live better and longer. And we have seen some great results with semaglutide.
Patients are experiencing healthy weight loss, getting rid of cravings, and realizing that there’s a different way to live their day-to-day life. We want that for you, too.
